The hypocrisy of liberals can be quite choking at times. Liberals make a huge deal out of censorship whenever one of their pet causes are threatened. However, when it comes to free speech that steps on their toes they often use silence as a weapon against it.

The woman that protested against China's President Hu on his visit to the US is claiming that CNN pre-censored her comments in an interview. The whole foundation of her protest was about China's barbaric treatment of the Falon Gong by killing them and harvesting their organs. Newsmax reports:

Though Wang's one-woman protest received widespread media attention, the press largely over looked the reason for her outcry - a bid to call attention to the gruesome organ harvesting practice.

Dr. Wang told Farber that the Beijing regime extracts hearts, livers and kidneys from prisoners all over China; including "prisoners of conscience," who could be Christians, anti-communists, or members of the Falun Gong religious movement.

So having been scheduled to be interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN, the protestor Dr. Wenyi Wang, was told moments before the show not to mention the organ harvesting because it was during viewer's dinner hour. In an interview with talk show host Barry Farber:

She told Farber, however, that before the show "one producer actually told me - there will be no discussion about the organs."

I am sure that if there was a story about George Bush ordering the harvesting of organs of prisoners, CNN would have no problem airing discussion of it during the breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. What is the liberal's fascination and enthrallment to China? Look at how Dr. Wang's protest was covered in the mainstream media. When Bush is abroad and being protested by thousands the media has no problem with it; even relishing it. They hardly blinked when the dud grenade was lobbed on the stage with Bush. Actually, they could hardly contain their disappointment it did not go off. Yet China's Hu gets protested by one person and they both portray her as a nut and ignore the actual reason she is protesting.

I have stated before that silence is the weapon of choice by the media. If they disagree with it and they can get away with maintaining silence, they will do it. This voluntary censorship is called bias.

Aren't people who watch CNN during the dinner hour used to gagging regularly? On a related note, during Bill Clinton's presidency, I don't recall news organizations having a problem discussing organs during mealtime.

Given Dr. Wang's profession as a pathologist, and New York's recent string of grisly illegal cadaver organ harvesting cases, it's not hard to see how she put two and two together and rehashed the 1970's era anti-communist tall tale of people sentenced to vivisection.

Sunday, thanks for stopping by and adding your feedback. I have made clear in the past I want to be nobody's dupe. So if Dr. Wang's assertions are false, I would want to acknowledge that.

However, if your information is correct, I would think the MSM would jump at the chance to portray Dr. Wang as a discredited kook.

I also am not sure where you are coming from. I read through some of your blog material. You claim the Epoch Times is basically a propoganda tool for the Falun Gong. I know very little about the Epoch Times, so I won't dispute. I think it is fair to point out you dispute in one of your posts the truth of the events of Tienneman Square. It makes it seem like you are a likely propoganda tool of China.

FYI Dr. Wang is the lead researcher for Epoch Times NY's conveniently timed "Sujiatun Auschwitz" allegation that has since being discredited:

Yeah right...brought to you by the same guys that gave us WMD's in Iraq and Iraqi Oil will pay for the war...Get real!!!

The REDS in China have been persecuting and killing the members of Falun Gong in the thousands. The U.S. government tells them their coming in to investigate what their up to weeks in advance and they just relocate the prisoners. This a repressive and dictatorial regime that does business with other Repressive regimes.

They play like they are our Capitalistic pals,but you can rest assure that we are on a collision course with them. They have not forgotten what the west did to their country at the beginning of the last century.

So my Chinese GOVERNMENT DUPE/RUNNING DOG the crackdown at Tienneman Square never happened??? How do you explain all the photographic proof??? Sounds like what the skinheads say about the Holocaust...so what is the PARTY LINE THIS WEEK FROM BEJING?????
